The accident report has now been published, and a couple of threads Navigation Apps & CFIT and "I can't die because I've got an instructor sitting next to me" refer to certain elements, but I hope this 'post AAIB report' thread might be able to draw some additional learning points from this tragedy.
Since reading it a coupe of times I've been asking myself these questions
- Would I have departed?
- Assuming I had departed, what would make me turn back/divert? I've done that a few times over the years, but I don't (think) I have a consistent way of making that decision.
- How reliable (generally) are the warnings of ice in F215
- Would I have climbed to a safe altitude?
One thing I do know, had I departed on that day, I would not have done it without having a phone/tablet/moving map GPS of some kind.
What can we learn, and what would you have done (and why)?
